The Kennedy Space Center Visitor\u2019s Complex has unveiled a new display for SpaceX\u2019s next-generation spacesuits worn by astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken on the historic DM-2 Crew Dragon mission to the ISS in May of 2020.<\/p>\n

The exhibit is located underneath Space Shuttle Atlantis and is expected to be a limited-time 60-day display according to the KSC Visitor\u2019s Complex. Day tickets or year passes to the complex are available daily from 9 a.m. \u2013 5 p.m. or they can be purchased online.<\/p>\n

The exhibit is timely as the 10th anniversary of the final Space Shuttle flight recently passed on July 8th, when Atlantis launched in 2011 on STS-135, an ISS resupply mission. Nearly a decade later, SpaceX made history with the DM-2 mission by returning crewed spaceflight capabilities to U.S. soil and ending a reliance on purchased seats aboard Russian Soyuz vehicles for ISS access. The iconic suits now reside underneath the same Space Shuttle that closed out the program as a representation of commercial spaceflight progress in the interim 9 years.<\/p>\n
